Where to Shop Unique Handmade Silver Jewellery & Accessories in Singapore
If you love a custom moment, these handmade silver jewellery and accessories might be for you.
By Tricia Teong ,
Silver jewellery never goes out of style, especially when it’s handmade with heart. From delicate rings crafted with clay and fired into pure silver to watches adorned with soldered spikes made by melting metal alloys, we’ve rounded up the coolest under-the-radar crafters selling one-of-a-kind jewellery here in Singapore.
1. QUIETLY FORGED
Quietly Forged turns fleeting memories into sculptural works of art you can wear every day.
WHO'S BEHIND IT: 24-year-old Nanyang Technological University (NTU) undergraduate and freelance graphic designer Jaymee Lee started her custom silver jewellery brand in January of this year after falling in love with the jewellery making technique known as lost wax casting.
This process begins with Lee creating moulds from jewellery wax, which is then carved and melted into whimsical shapes inspired by other forms of art like music, poetry, photographs, movies, and even memories. The wax pieces are cast in silver by a local caster, and Lee takes over to do the polishing, cleaning and stone setting. The result? Intricate works of wearable art, each unique in its own way.
Lee shares, “All my works are one-of-a-kind designs so each piece is special to the person who purchases it, but I would say that a common characteristic of my work is the element of fluidity, transforming solid metal to appear as if it’s flowing like water.”
Creating forms that capture a sense of dynamism like ripples on water — that’s Lee’s signature.
WHY WE LOVE IT: Quietly Forged lives up to its name with each custom-made silver ring —crafted from an alloy that's 92.5% silver— holding unspoken stories.
On her obsession with rings, Lee explains, "I used to go through books in the library like Rings: Jewelry of Power, Love and Loyalty by Diana Scarisbrick, which kickstarted a very strong desire to make rings in particular. I love how they used to hold so much meaning. They are a representation of a larger narrative in someone’s life —like mourning rings or friendship rings— and personalised to the wearer. It’s a huge contrast to how accessories are bought today, as mass production has made it so easy to access jewellery,” shares Lee.
Each design features symbols hidden in plain sight, each representing quiet, intimate memories cherished by the wearer.
Take, for instance, this wave-like ring crafted by Lee for a friend. Inspired by her friend’s favourite poem, Emily Dickinson’s "Hope" Is The Thing With Feathers, the ring features poetic symbols of hope: a bird, stars, waves, sun beams and a heart, all coming together to create a token of friendship.
HOW TO GET IT: If you’re in need of a sentimental gift for a friend or simply treating yourself, be sure to stay updated through her Instagram where she releases limited collections and occasionally opens custom slots for those wanting a personalised piece. Her rings range in price from $85 to $200.
2. EROS CULT
Edgy by design, Eros Cult reimagines classic timepieces with soldered, talon-like embellishments.
WHO’S BEHIND IT: The sole founder, designer and maker behind Eros Cult, 24-year-old Tea Zhi Cheng, is the brains behind the spiky soldered watches and edgy crystal accessories you might have seen on your feed. While the brand was launched in December of 2023 with upcycled rings made from spoons, Tea later discovered the art of soldering in April 2024, setting the stage for what has since become his signature style.
“I first found out about soldering when my partner showed me a piece made by an overseas artist. I wanted to create something similar for her. What began as a personal gesture soon grew into an obsession, and eventually it led me to share this art form not just with my partner, but with the community here," Tea confides.
Besides their cult favourite soldered watches, Eros Cult also offers rings, bracelets and necklaces in their signature spiked-up style.
WHY WE LOVE IT: Handcrafted using a mix of synthetic gems, crystals, pearls, and even seashells, each piece is designed to be a bold and unique extension of the wearer’s individuality.
Eros Cult, which began with sentimental roots, came full circle when Tea had the opportunity to create wedding pieces for a couple, including a statement necklace for the bride and a custom soldered watch for the groom. “To be entrusted with such a meaningful event so early in my journey was both mind-blowing and unforgettable,” Tea shares.
HOW TO GET IT: Shop Eros Cult’s pieces through their Instagram, their website, or Telegram channel. They also have occasional pop-up events for you to browse their pieces in person. Prices range from $30 to $50 for most pieces, while their signature watches range from $56 to $176. On average, customers typically spend $40 for smaller items and $116 for watches.
3. WHOWANTSAYNOW
Just when you thought ribbons couldn’t get any cuter, WhoWantSayNow proves otherwise with their cult-favourite corset ribbon necklaces.
WHO’S BEHIND IT: Those who keep an eye on indie brands might already know WhoWantSayNow. Established in 2021, 22-year-old founder and designer Crystal Woon has amassed a following numbering in the thousands for her brand WhoWantSayNow, known for her ornate stainless steel jewellery and more recently, her hand-sculpted 999 silver clay pieces (named as such for its 99.9% pure silver content).
Some of Woon's more playful designs also feature freshwater pearls and cubic zirconia gems for those wanting a pop of colour.
Since 2023, Woon has been transforming silver clay into everyday necklaces and rings featuring ribbons, spikes, piercing-inspired elements and more.
The process is nothing short of rigorous. Woon spends a few days to a week sculpting each component of the design separately, dehydrating the pieces, sanding them down, and assembling them together to be fired. This is followed by up to ten rounds of polishing which can take up to a full day to complete. “What sets WhoWantSayNow apart is the meticulous craftsmanship and well-thought-out design behind every piece, which my community of customers truly appreciates,” Woon shares.
WHY WE LOVE IT: Spotted on rising stars like local singer-songwriter Regina Song and music producer Ilham Jufri, the brand’s signature silver pieces are made for all genders, striking a balance between edgy and dainty, modern and timeless.
HOW TO GET IT: Head over to the brand’s website to browse their catalogue, and keep a lookout for updates on Instagram when they open slots for custom requests. To shop in-person, you can also check out their upcoming pop-up events to be announced later in the year. Their jewellery starts from $70, with customers usually spending between $90 to $120 on average, depending on the design’s complexity.
4. GIZMO
Gizmo's catalogue of trinkets and accessories is nothing short of eclectic.
WHO’S BEHIND IT: 27-year-old Diyana Kadir started Gizmo (also known as @91zmo) in June 2024, but her fascination with silver clay began years before, when she watched YouTube tutorials and landed a sales job at a jewellery school in 2023 to hone her skills. Fast forward to today, and Gizmo is now stocked in the Gen Z-famous lifestyle concept store, Plop Space, as well as the chic Paris-based WAB Concept Store.
On the brand’s funky name, Kadir shares, “The name ‘Gizmo’ was inspired by words like trinkets, doodads, gadgets et cetera. It was also inspired by the Teen Titans (an American animated superhero television series) villain of the same name. I liked the fact that he could turn harmless objects into weapons using only his intellect. "
WHY WE LOVE IT: True to that innovative spirit, Kadir’s pieces are just as cleverly constructed, transforming the strange and unconventional into striking pieces crafted from 999 silver clay and gemstones.
Case in point, the brand’s signature Wisdom Ring was made from a mould of Kadir’s own wisdom tooth.
Her sources of inspiration are diverse, and her creations are even more eclectic. “I would say that my style is gothic, brutalist, and even girly. I love not only heavy textures and patina (the finish that gives jewellery a vintage vibe) but also cute flowers and ribbon-inspired pieces too,” she adds.
To create her jewellery, she either shapes the silver clay with her tools or uses wax to create moulds in a similar manner to the lost wax casting method, but adapted for clay. After drying overnight, the pieces are fired, polished, and ready to go.
Inspired by the look of marine organisms and liquid metal, Kadir channels her artistic influences into the jewellery making process.
Take for example, the line of shell pendant jewellery she made to the soundtrack of The Marias’ latest album, Submarine.
HOW TO GET IT: Customers can message Kadir on Instagram, or visit Plop Space located at 43 Arab Street, where she's currently consigning. Her pieces are priced between $50 to $95, with custom and ready-made pieces averaging at $80 per piece.
5. THIRSTY TOMATO
If you're into funky jewellery that stands out from the crowd, look no further than Thirsty Tomato.
WHO’S BEHIND IT: A business development assistant by day and a self-taught jewellery maker by night, 24-year-old Seraphine Lim Jia Yi has been running her jewellery business Thrifty Tomato since 2020, but the world of soldering was something she only began exploring in June 2024.
Insect motifs run through Lim's collections, like these spider inspired pendants featuring pairs of matching pearls.
Under the sister account Thirsty Tomato, Lim creates bold and gothic works of art from lead-free solder, wire-sculpted pendants, lab-grown gemstones, freshwater pearls, and nature-inspired pendants like shells and insects preserved in resin.
Calling all goths, this chunky statement necklace might just be the perfect addition to your wardrobe.
WHY WE LOVE IT: For those who love to make a statement, the brand's signature design —a hand sculpted and soldered cross— is sure to make you stand out from the crowd. She also offers a variety of jewellery styles on her main Instagram account Thrifty Tomato, including beaded, chainmail and hand braided rope necklaces for customers looking to switch up their jewellery stack.
HOW TO GET IT: You can purchase their pieces on Instagram either on @thriftytomato.co or @thirstytomato.co. For personalised pieces, check out @tomato.customs. Their jewellery starts from $30 and can go up to $78. She’ll also be boothing on August 2-3 at Resurrack and madyourmotherproud market.
6. Y0ruist
Y0ruist fuses the organic with the industrial; think seashells rimmed in soldered metal like you've never seen them before.
WHO’S BEHIND IT: A recent Graphic Communication graduate from Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts (NAFA), 21-year-old Sylvia Ng is putting her eye for design to work with her brand, Y0ruist. Started in 2022, her soldered shell accessories were only launched in 2025, a detour from her past Y2K-inflected pieces.
Despite this new edge, the brand still holds true to its whimsical and girly roots with designs keeping stars, hearts, keys and sunset-hued shell pendants in rotation. “I take inspiration from the duality of magical girls from animated shows such as Sailor Moon and Winx, who are graceful and pretty, while also being strong and fierce,” Ng elaborates.
WHY WE LOVE IT: If siren-core is your vibe, this one's for you. From hairclips to necklaces and even carabiners, you can always carry a piece of the sea with you through Y0ruist’s designs (but with some extra silver sparkle). “As someone who can't decide between cute and cool things, I wanted to bring both of those elements together. The shells are pretty and fragile, while the soldered spikes add a cool, edgy vibe,” Ng explains.
HOW TO GET IT: Shop from the website and stay updated through their Instagram for their next pop-up event. Prices sit at the higher end of the $30 range, with most pieces averaging around $38.
7. Kewlbeadz
Kewlbeadz may be known for its beaded creations, but it’s now making waves with silver clay jewellery too.
WHO’S BEHIND IT: Although she’s the youngest maker in this list, 19 year-old Allison Jane Chan is already on her way to becoming a trained jeweller, set to enroll in the BA (Hons) Jewellery Design course at the University of the Arts London later this year.
Chan’s obsession with jewellery began back in 2020, when her mother signed her up for a short silver clay workshop during the holidays where she made a ring which she still wears today. The instructor noted her natural affinity with the medium and encouraged her to keep experimenting. In 2021, she started Kewlbeadz, aptly named for its playful spin on beaded necklaces featuring quirky eyeballs, colourful crystals, glass beads and more.
A year into her business, she began taking courses in metalsmithing. At the same time, she started selling handmade silver clay pieces and discovered soldered jewellery through a collaboration with another small business in the scene. Now, she combines her love for gemstones and metals to create hybrid pieces, incorporating handmade silver pendants into her beaded designs.
These whimsical, bug-like pendants are a nod to the iconic toys and animated films of Chan's childhood.
WHY WE LOVE IT: Inspired by nostalgia, Kewlbeadz is a haven for your inner child. Chan’s designs draw from motifs like the Ohmu bugs from Studio Ghibli’s Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind and the Tamagotchi —an iconic handheld gadget from the late '90s and early 2000s— into fun neck candy.
From ethereal to woodsy to grungy, her creations transcend aesthetics, keeping things fresh with her experimental approach. “I’m always trying different techniques and using silver clay in many forms, like mixing silver clay paste with ground, dried clay to create a rougher texture,” Chan shares.
For Chan, it’s all about following her creative impulse. “I often start with a vague idea and sometimes sketches of the forms I would like to incorporate into my work. I often let my intuition guide me,” she explains.
With her love of gemstones, Chan gives each piece she makes a little extra sparkle.
Even with this instinctual approach to creating jewellery, Chan remains intentional in her design process, down to even the smallest of details. "I use gemstones that are more durable and can withstand the high temperatures needed to fire the clay, like garnet, saphhires, tourmaline and peridot. A safer alternative is cubic zirconia which won't crack or change colours after firing, but they lack the charm of natural stones," Chan explains.
Each gemstone is also chosen according to the vibe she’s going for: dark garnets for the goths, opal and baby blue sapphires for those who prefer something more ethereal. Whatever your style, Kewlbeadz just might have something that’ll catch your eye.
HOW TO GET IT: To purchase, send a direct message to their Instagram account. Custom requests, modifications and inquiries are also welcome. Depending on the complexity of the design and the materials used, the brand’s prices usually hover between $30 to over $100, with the average price being $50.
